Decoupage bachelorette party invitations

I honestly don't know if it is common or not to send formal invitations for a bachelorette party. The world is big and there probably are places where this is a given. However, here it is not. Nonetheless, why not do it?

It had been a while since I last did something creative, and so I decided that my sister's bachelorette party was the perfect excuse to finally let the creative steam out and make something nice - a set of invitations for her bachelorette party (which I was organizing).

I have created a set of cards / invitations using napkin decoupage and card making techniques. Doing decoupage on soft and rather thin cardboard was a new thing to me. I was worried that the cardboard will lose its shape when wet from the glue / varnish, but in the end it all turned out for the best and I was very happy with the results.Napravila sam komplet pozivnica koristeći dekupaž salveta tehniku i tehnike za pravljenje čestitki. Za mene je bilo novo to što sam radila dekupaž na mekanom i tankom kartonu i brinula sam se da će se karton deformisati od vlažnog lepka / laka, ali je na kraju sve dobro ispalo i bila sam zadovoljna rezultatom.

What I wasn't happy about was when most of the girls canceled on a day when I planned to give them the cards so that they received their invitations on the evening of the party. But c'est la vie! On the bright side, they all were surprised and had liked the cards and had brought home something to remind them of the occasion. Mission accomplished!
